Former Super Eagles coach, Adeboye Onigbinde, says Nigerians deserve the
insults hauled at them by Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh. Onigbinde
said this while reacting to the Youtube videos Oliseh posted over the
weekend, where he described his critics as Insane. He has however
apologized for this.
Onigbinde who spoke to Goal.com said;

"The first issue is about his appointment which he claimed he didn’t beg
to secure, in other words, the NFF begged him. And I begin to ask what
qualities did the NFF see in him and begged to have him lead the Super
Eagles?
I still feel it is a big slap on the country to
appoint a Nigerian or a foreigner who has never handled any club or a
big team to handle the Super Eagles. That is an insult, and now the
insult is now being complicated. Oliseh is now calling his critics
insane. I watched the video and at a point was shedding tears for
Nigerian football but we deserve it. Since he got this job, he has been
going to Europe for treatment, shouldn’t the NFF have verified his
health condition before appointing him. Now he has the gut to insult
everybody. ‎Also talking about his experience, has he not shown
inadequacy in this? For instance, see the way he handled [Vincent]
Enyeama’s case. If Oliseh was intelligent enough, he could have
commiserated with him first on the loss of his mother and Enyeama would
have been worshipping him, but he wanted to be a boss. Have Nigerians
forgotten that the national team broke down in Mali as a result of gross
indiscipline under his leadership and now that is the kind of person
NFF feels is good enough for the Super Eagles job. These are the
questions we failed to answer before giving him the job and to some
extent, he is right in throwing hot water on the faces of those who
landed him the job. You can imagine a coach coming out a day to the
commencement of the African Nations Championship that his players are
not well fed and all that, what kind of result do you expect from that
kind of coach? The question now is, will this not affect our chances in
future competitions? Now we are causing more confusion and destroying
the team further. That is in the hands of those managing Nigeria
football. I have made several enemies speaking the truth. The fact is we
have administrative problems bedeviling our football,” he said.
